Presumably you have written the MBR with a different OS in the first
time, or got a disk with a valid MBRi from the vendor.
OK, I try this way, too. 1st try Linux, 2nd Windows.
If this should work, it is still a pity that FreeBSD doesn't have usable
tools to do the work natively.
Yes, the computer ran Linux before on the same disks. Both disks changed from
several partitions to just one (to use bsdlabels instead) when I installed
Freebsd though.
Just in case I set up some other old computers, can I expect the same
problems like the OP if disks aren't partitioned in another OS first?
(Well, in that case, I guess I now know one thing linux livecds are good
for).
